  "summary": "The police are currently investigating the theft of Sh1.32 million, intended for security operations in Bangale Sub-County, Tana River County, after the funds vanished from a locked car parked at a government office. The money, withdrawn on October 22, 2026, was earmarked for National Government Administrative Officers (NGAO) through an Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) allocation. The accountant, who had traveled to Garissa with the newly appointed Sub-County Auditor, placed the cash under the driver's seat before leaving the vehicle. The theft was reported to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), leading to an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.",
